A skill from Slack's official plugin for working with the Slack Web API.
What the skill teaches
A skill from Slack's official plugin for working with the Slack Web API. It helps an agent find which family.method call does a job, read that method's contract from its docs.slack.dev page (arguments, OAuth scopes, token type), and then call it through the Slack CLI, plain HTTP with curl, or a Slack SDK. It covers getting a token either through the CLI or the developer's own credentials, paging through results with cursors, and dealing with rate limits and common errors such as missing scopes or invalid auth. Calls need a Slack token with the right scopes.
Capabilities
- Find the Web API method for a task
- Look up a method's scopes and token type
- Call methods via the Slack CLI, curl or an SDK
- Handle cursor pagination, rate limits and API errors
